Ok. So I’m looking at better brand bearings for drive shaft when I replace it. Reading up on data for SKF 6009 2RS bearing it says it is filled with electric motor grease. Well thats not ideal. So whats a guy to do besides cleaning all the factory grease and repackaging it? Any bearings with grease designed for sled application? Not sure how many responses I will get this far after winter. Thanks

Well checked with SKF bearings to see what grease is in the SKF bearings I bought. Not good for cold temperatures. They own Peer bearings now so I got them to check what kind of grease comes in the Cat 6009 bearing. Turns out it’s way better grease. It’s aeroshell 7 good to -73c (-99f). So aftermarket bearings might need grease changed out. I bought the blue amsoil grease to repack my SKF. Would of tried the shell stuff if I had time.
